Kotzebue - Week 8 (22)

I hope this reaches you all doing well.

As we enter into this 6th month or the halfway point of this uniquely eye-opening and special assignment, it has been a time of reflection and appreciation. More of a sincere and sober acknowledgement that we have only been able to get to this point and much further with the aid of the Holy Spirit and Jehovah's Strong Hand to assist us.

The words found in the book of 1 Peter 5:10 have proven to be a highlight of these past months for myself. There we read: "But after you have suffered a little while, the God of all undeserved kindness, who called you to his everlasting glory in union with Christ, will himself finish your training. He will make you firm, he will make you strong, he will firmly ground you."

My prayer is that you too will allow Jehovah to "finish your training" in the final part of the days we are now living. Standing on the threshold of the destruction of this wicked system of things, the time has arrived to trust implicitly His Strength, knowing that he will "firmly ground you" and bolster your faith for the momentous times we face.

With warm love and greetings,

M.J. Penfield

Alaska Fact of the Week: Alaska boasts both the highest point (Mount Denali at 20,306 feet), and the lowest point (the Aleutian Trench at 25,000 feet below sea level) in North America.

  1. It is very up-building to read your blog. May Jehovah continue to bless your efforts and provide endurance in your exciting and challenging assignment. The photos are simply beautiful, though I'm sure they don't really do justice to Jehovah's creation, the facts about Alaska are interesting too.
